BELLES OF ST. MARY’S May 9,1958 COBBIE GIVES FAREWELL ADVICE The year is almost over. The new officers have been installed and the final tabulations have been made. It is the time for reviewing the past year and making plans for the future. Reviewing the past year— how can it best be done? Will figures tell the story of ’57-’58. Hall and Honor Council reports, absence sheets or Honor Rolls? The answer does not lie here, but within each individual student. Who can judge the efforts of a year better than those who made the efforts, or saw them made? Yes, we have had low spots and periods of depression. We have ex perienced griping and felt the bitter sting of rumor, but we survived because somewhere within us we held a golden dream that there is good in all things, and all is not in vain. There have been times when we students felt that all faculty in fluence was interference, and that we were being deprived of our “rights”. There have been times when faculty members wanted to assert more influence and manage Student Government. These are both extremes, for Student Government could not function without admini strative guidance and can live only if it is in the hands of the students themselves. Has Student Government been effective in ’57758? We must ask ourselves, for the answer lies within us. Have I given St. Mary’s my best; have I tried to make a lasting contribution? Have I stood for the hard right and against the easy wrong? Some of us are leaving and some returning, but all of us should realize that the girl who receives the most from St. Mary’s is the girl who has given freely of herself. If we have received nothing then the fault is all our own, for it is in giving that we gain. ’58-’59—What will you bring to St. Mary’s? There is no real way to tell, but much can be done to bring about the desired results. It is a new year full of promise. Fresh thinking will be given to old problems and changes will be made. We have proposed numerous changes in the con stitution and made many worthwhile suggestions. We have tried to give of our experience to those who take up our tasks. We have not been useiess if we can be of help to them. The future looks good, but it will be so only if you who return are willing to work to make it that way. Support your officers, make your suggestions, give of your time and your mind. When things go wrong don’t be afraid to criticize, but be equally eager to praise when all goes well. We have finished. Louise, Linda, Shirley, Jessie, Dickie, and I have given the responsibility to our successors. To you belongs ’58-’59. Student Government is in your hands. We leave you with our love. Caroline Collier Cobb When you argue with a fool be sure he isn’t similarly engaged. Sis: The bank returned my check. Sally: Great! What will you buy with it this time? Mother to a group of small child ren at a birthday party: “And there will be a very special prize for the first one to go home.” Pedestrian—Person who can’t find where he parked his car. Beckoning Belles Tke Belles We’re in the home stretch of one more year at St. Marie. “Pomp and Circumstances” is ringing joyfully in the ears of all the seniors. May Day this year was a pro duction worthy of high praise. Not only was the court enchanting, but also the dances and costumes were magnificent. Congratulations to the two new est Circle members: Jeanette Cross and Elise Brise. They surely did pick a windy, rainy night. The ugly monster rumor certain ly made a timely appearance in the last issue of the “Belles”. OF ST. MARY'S Published every two weeks during school year by the student body of St. Mary’s Junior College. Entered as 2nd Class matter Dec. 7, 1944, at Post Office, Raleigh, N. C., under Act of March 3, 1879. Sub scription $1.00 a year. Editor Nancy Morris REVIEW NOW; PLAY LATER Now that exam time is approaching, St. Mary’s begins to worry. Enticed by spring fever, many girls have given more thought to relaxation than their grades can afford. This last month of school is the best oppor tunity for repairing this fault and really digging into text books. Forget about buying new flashlight batteries; get an early start on reviewing the semester’s work. Anyone who ignores studying until the night before an exam wiil find herseif slightly drowsy around four o’clock in the morning and unable to keep her eyes open during those two hours the next day. An early review also can save you from a sketchy preparation in each subject. Don’t thumb through one book so that you can rush on to another. A slight knowledge of each course barely may pass you, but more easily can confuse you. Why don’t you turn down that invitation to play bridge or to take in a flick. Loafing is fun; nevertheless, it does not result in good grades on final exams. If you budget your time in order to concentrate on those books, you will walk into your exams with a clear, confident mind. Sally Cole How Do You Study? Since final exams are drawing closer . . . and . . . closer, we thought it would be appropriate to get some pre-exam hints on how to study. These people were all asked, “How do you study for exams? Em Pierce—play bridge Eve Sandlin—study my notes Miss Morrison—have a schedule. Make up all undone work on the weekend. Have all your reviewing done before exam week. Rest. Get lots of fresh air and plenty of good food during exam week. Guaranteed to get you a good exam grade (if you’ve been working this semester). Blackmon—make plans —period Burroughs—Cram! Cram— Cram! June Walden—live on coffee Sue Sandlin—lock myself in with Beethoven’s 9th Anonymous—run over my notes an hour before the exam Joanne Raspberry—good question Dona Borden—Ha! ! Ha! !
